They released one full length record entitled Sleepwalkers in 2009, as well as three EPs; Southern Blue (2008), It's Starting, (2009), and Anxiety and Everything Else (2012). They also released a split EP with metalcore band Architects in 2008. Further, the band were nominated in the Best British Newcomer category at the 2008 Kerrang! Awards.[1][2]
